he finds out about your…” Night Xi trailed off, unable to finish the sentence. “She's afraid it will tarnish the reputation of the Duke's mansion.”Du Gucheng's smile froze, and he glared at Ye Xi angr...Feng Ling Xi's face was ashen, how could the wound on her forehead erase her mother concubine's memory

"Wan'er is your granddaughter, don't you remember"

The Empress Dowager Shu took a look at herself, her eyes full of disdain.

"Am I that old How could I have a granddaughter Then who is my son And where is my granddaughter"

Feng Ling Xi's mood was already in turmoil, how could she explain this to him Hopefully, there would be news from Du Gu Cheng.

"You rest first, I'll go find someone." Feng Lingxi soothed her, arranged for someone to take good care of her, and then went out.

Little Li followed by the Princess's side, watching her face as pale as paper, filled with worry.

"Your Majesty, Wan'er will be fine. She has a good destiny."

"Little Li, take me to see Luoli. I don't believe he did it."

But Luoli said she was taking someone away, and that person just vanished. She still couldn't believe this had anything to do with Luoli.

"I don't know where the chief is now, let's go look for him first."

Feng Lingxi nodded, her heart so flustered that she couldn't even think straight. She frantically searched for traces of Luoli, but after searching the city, no one had seen her. When evening came, she met with Dugu City. Looking at Dugu City, covered in dust, returning in a hurry, Feng Lingxi didn't see him bringing Wan'er back. Her heart sank.

"Xier, I'm sorry, I couldn't find Wan'er."

"My mother has lost her memory and can't tell me anything. What about Luo Li"

Feng Lingxi didn't see Luoli, so she hurriedly asked.

"I'm leaving." Dugu City looked at Feng Lingxi, "It was his people who took Wan'er away. He got the news and went after them first. I came back just to tell you this."

Then why don't you go with him

It's too late, I'm afraid we have to go to the Ghost Saint Nation. His people have already taken Wan'er to the Ghost Saint Nation. Luoli is rushing there now to grab them and bring them to the Ghost Saint Nation.

Feng Ling Xi's face turned as pale as a sheet, "Looks like I have to go to the Ghost Saint Nation."

Dugu Cheng's expression was solemn, "I don't believe Luoli. Let Ye Xi follow him and go first to find someone. We pack up and head straight to Guisheng Country. I hope we can bring Wan'er back before we arrive."

"No, I'll go myself."

Feng Lingxi took a deep breath, and suddenly understood.

“There’s no point in you coming with me. Even if we try to resolve this by half past, it will be useless. Their purpose is clear; they’re after me. They kidnapped Wan'er simply to lure me out. You coming with me wouldn't help at all. Moreover, the journey is long and treacherous, who knows what might happen By following me, you risk falling into their hands here.”

“If you were to abandon your mother and daughter for this power, what would be the point of me even becoming emperor I'll make arrangements here. We'll set off tomorrow. You pack up, and take care of things in the Yao clan as well. Ye Xi will give us news along the way.”

Dugu Cheng patted Feng Lingxi's shoulder, his eyes firm.

"Our child, we'll go get her back together."

"Okay."

Feng Lingxi took a deep breath, "I have people take my mother to the Yao clan, or stay here."

"Just stay here, with Yu Mo and Yi Xuan. Don't forget about your brothers, they're reliable."

Dugu City reminded Feng Lingxi, thinking of Yu Mo and Feng Yixuan, Feng Lingxi was very fortunate that she still had reliable relatives around her, hoping they could guard the territory that Dugu City was defending.

Two people went their separate ways. Dugu City convened an emergency meeting, discussing his departure with General Li and others. With the arrival of Feng Aotiantian in Linxi County, this was originally meant to be kept under wraps. However, due to their departure, Feng Aotiantian was secretly sent away that night. The reason behind it wasn't explained; he was simply removed from Linxi County.

Feng Lingxi arranged the Yao clan's affairs, working until dawn before returning to the county government office.

Things are a bit busier on Du Gu City's side. Feng Yi Xuan and Tian Mi originally planned to leave, but since Feng Ling Xi and Du Gu City are leaving too, their plans have been put on hold.

"Yi Xuan, Xiao Mi, this time I'm leaving, you two take care of Linxi County for us. If you can't hold it, just take care of yourselves."

"How could you not hold on, let go with peace of mind, I'm here, I won't let anyone take your things away."

Tian Xiaomi's eyes were red with unshed tears, but she still managed to squeeze out a smile.

Feng Lingxi patted her head, "Thank you, but your safety is more important than anyone else's. And Yi Xuan, I've already sent your father away. If you recover your memory later and still feel that I owe you an apology, then please forgive Xiao Mi, and the innocent people, they are all innocent."

"Fourth Sister, please don't say that. Yi Xuan swore to the heavens, he will absolutely not hurt Xiao Mi because of his memory recovery, nor will he harm you and all the people here. During this time I've been here, I've seen how peaceful and prosperous it is, just like the capital city. I believe, I was wrong before."

"Thank you, I'll be leaving in a bit. Take care of yourselves."

Feng Yixuan watched the tears welling up in Feng Lingxi's eyes. He knew that this night, neither Feng Lingxi nor Dugu Cheng would sleep. They were both attending to matters here. Just now, he had also heard Feng Lingxi's words and understood how much she cared about him not recovering his memory. She worried that he might betray her. He could understand that.

He is truly happy these days, he believes his current choices are the right ones.

"Xier, I'm all set here. We can depart now."

"Your Majesty."

Sun Cheng led a group of soldiers over, his eyes full of determination.

"My subordinates are willing to follow you to the Ghost Saint Kingdom. The journey is long and arduous, and without our protection..."

"No need, because this road is dangerous, I won't take you with me. Stay here and protect Linxi County, our home, until I and the King return."

But...

Before Sun Cheng could say anything else, Feng Lingxi stopped him.

"Don't forget, I'm the Holy Master of the Yao Clan. I have the Shadow Guards protecting me, and also the protection of the Prince. Nothing will happen. There are too many people on the way, and it's too conspicuous for us to be together. Just me, him, and Xiao Li is enough."

Sun Cheng's eyes were full of reluctance, but he knew the princess was doing it for their own good.

"All of you must wholeheartedly protect our home and await the return of the Lord and Lady."

Feng Lingxi patted Sun Cheng's shoulder, "Take care."

Sun Cheng followed her, always diligently and willingly. With his heart so full of care, that was enough.

I just went to see my mother, she still doesn't remember me. I told her to rest assured and that I would have people take care of her.

When Feng Lingxi mentioned the Empress Dowager Shu, she thought of the injury on the Empress Dowager's forehead and her eyes were filled with pity.

"Dugu Cheng, if not you, then I'll go by myself this time. My mother needs someone to take care of her. Leaving her behind like this, even if we find Wan’er, if something happens to my mother, we will regret it for the rest of our lives."

Feng Lingxi pushed Dugucheng away, "Stay here. This is a matter for the Yao clan. I believe I can handle it myself."

Dugu City looked at Feng Lingxi and hurriedly said, "Mother concubine can take care of herself, and besides, General Li and the others are here."
